Department of Endoscopy
Overview
Located on the 3rd and 4th floors of the hospital alongside the Department of Diagnostic Imaging, the Department of Endoscopy is staffed by highly skilled physicians with extensive expertise in endoscopic procedures. The hospital is home to experienced surgical specialists and works closely with leading surgeons from top national referral hospitals, who regularly collaborate in performing complex procedures.
Minimally invasive endoscopic surgery is increasingly being adopted across a wide range of specialties due to its significant advantages over conventional open surgery:
– No large surgical incisions are required, avoiding the need to open the abdomen, chest, joints, or other body cavities.
– Shorter hospital stays, with most patients discharged within 1–3 days.
– Faster recovery, as the minimally invasive approach causes less trauma to the body and has less impact on overall health.
– Better cosmetic outcomes, with much smaller scars compared with conventional surgery.
– Lower overall treatment costs than traditional open surgical procedures.
